Accessibility

Connecting to NTNU through VPN is only available for NTNU’s students and staff. Not all distributions are supported by Cisco.

To use NTNUs VPN you can install Cisco AnyConnect on Linux:

Download from vpn.ntnu.no

OpenConnect with Network Managers integrated GUI-tool is an alternative but might not always work as it is not distributed by Cisco. Network Manager has removed the option Any Connect as User Agent, and while this is the case it cannot be used for NTNU VPN.

Installation

sudo apt install network-manager-openconnect-gnome

Use the integrated GUI tool to set up VPN.
